Spoilers generally refer to information from parts of One Piece that a fan has not caught up to yet. This wiki contains information from every released chapter and episode of One Piece, added by users who are caught up. The wiki will strive to be as up-to-date as possible, and thus, there is a lot of information contained here that could possibly be seen as spoiling by those who have not read all of the series, and there are plot points from every part of the series that could be spoiling. Thus, you must read this wiki at your own risk if you do not wish to be spoiled on events you have not read yet.

Spoilers also refer to information from chapters that have not yet been released in Japan, which will spoil even people who are caught up with the series.

The difference between spoilers and fan scanlations may be confusing to some people. Both are gathered by people illegally stealing copies of Weekly Shonen Jump when they are shipped out to stores, as the magazines are printed a few days before being sold in order to be distributed. Scanlations are created when people take the stolen chapter, translate it, and post it online. The wiki will add information from chapter scanlations, since those have proven to be reliable and allow people to read the entirety of the chapter's content. Given the work it takes to make scanlations, spoilers will appear about a day earlier, as spoilers are simply snippets of the chapter such as summaries without pictures and pictures of single untranslated panels or pages. Information can only be added once the full chapter is translated, meaning spoiler information is not permitted on the wiki. This includes updating plot summaries based on spoiler summaries and uploading spoiler images.

Spoiler information may end up being true, but can easily be misinterpreted due to a lack of context in the summaries or in the picture snippets provided. They can also be made up by their providers. While the majority of One Piece fans in the English speaking community do not know how to speak Japanese (or for that matter read the kanji which is in the raw manga), there are several that do. It has been known for them to release fake Japanese text and/or translations into the fandom to confuse or mislead others. Many English speaking fans therefore take this as true spoilers without knowing they are being duped. Fake spoilers are sometimes released by Japanese fans, hoping to confuse or mislead others - which fans from other languages will sometimes innocently use as real spoilers.

This was later proven to be fanfiction material. However there were several things in this text that were true and made several translators believe this was a true spoiler. It should be noted that Luffy being offered the Shichibukai position was common in many many speculations, predictions, assumptions and fanfictions even before this fake spoiler was released.

Other examples of misleading information released in fake spoilers has included:
